About PEsx
==========

PEsx is a shellextension for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.
It integrates smoothly in your existing environment, and without using up much of your
system resources ( 70K diskspace ! and only active while inspecting 'properties'),
it gives you a detailed insight in the dependencies of your installed application or DLLs.

This is very usefull, for example in case you have several different versions of the "same" dll and dont exactly know which one is really used by one of your applications.

It also helps you learn "whats going on under the hood".
--------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION:

	If you currently use an older version, 
	please uninstall it before continuing ( via control panel) 

	.) RIGHT CLICK ON THE ICON TITLED 'PESX.INF' 
	.) CHOOSE 'INSTALL' FROM THE POPUP-MENU
	.) THAT'S ALL  !
	.) NOW - ENJOY !

HOW TO REMOVE THE ICON FROM THE TABULATOR ( registered version only)
-----------------------------------------

Use Regedit.exe to add a 'String value' at

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\One Step Ahead Software\PESX"

titled "MiniIcon".

Possible Values "0"                             : Icon is not displayed
                "1" or any other, or no entry   : Icon is displayed
